Ebola Virus Vaccine Study (EBL07)

What is the purpose of this trial? 

The world needs new vaccines against Ebola: a lethal viral disease capable of causing devastating outbreaks.

We are carrying out a clinical trial of a new Ebola vaccine called ‘ChAdOx1 biEBOV’ which is designed to target two of the deadliest species of Ebola-causing viruses. The vaccine is based on the ChAdOx1 vaccine technology that we previously successfully used to develop the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to test a new Ebola vaccine called ‘ChAdOx1 biEBOV’ in healthy volunteers aged 18-55 years. The trial will give us valuable information on the safety of the vaccine and the immune response it creates in healthy volunteers and will involve giving participants one dose of the vaccine and then following them up over 6 months.
